As part of a continuing commitment to improvemanagement of the nation’s public lands, the Bureau of Land Management is reviewing the way they develop and update our Resource Management Plans (RMPs).

Through this initiative, they hope to improve our land use planning process so that they can more effectively plan across landscapes at multiple scales and be more responsive to environmental and social change. They hope that this approach will create a more dynamic, durable and efficient planning process that can better honor the valuable contributions made by the public; non-government organizations; and our partners from state; tribal and local governments; as well as other federal agencies.

In developing RMPs, we are committed to involving the public and partners to help better manage public lands and resources consistent with federal law, while seeking consistency with local, tribal and state laws, policies and plans.
